Kia ora, and welcome to Newshub's live coverage of the second Twenty20 between New Zealand and Sri Lanka at Dunedin's University of Otago Oval.
The Blackcaps fell to a stunning Super Over defeat in the series opener at Eden Park - their seventh of eighth in such fashion in the game's shortest format.
A spectacular six from tailender Ish Sodhi off the last ball of their run chase forced the rarely-seen decider, but they couldn't capitalise on the reprieve.
After the Blackcaps posted just eight runs from their Super Over, Sri Lanka needed just three balls to end proceedings and take the series lead.
New Zealand will be looking for more from their top order, with openers Chad Bowes and Tim Seifert combining for just two runs at Auckland.
While their three frontline fast bowlers all conceded more than 10 runs an over, as Sri Lanka won their first game of their tour.
Join us from 12:30pm for the toss at University of Otago Oval.
